32GB Sony Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo HX Unveiled [Largest Capacity Memory Stick HX Card To Date]

Sony have officially taken the wraps off their largest capacity Memory Stick HX memory card to date with the launch of the 32GB Sony Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo HX which ‘boasts’ up to 20MB/s data transfer rates (hardly industry leading) and which offers sufficient capacity to hold up to 225 minutes of 1080p (Full HD) video content on a single card.

Billed as being perfect for high definition camcorders the new 32GB Sony Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo HX will be supplied complete with a USB adapter allowing for ease of data transfer between the card and your PC with Sony’s press release stating that ‘read speeds of 20MB/s and write speeds of 15MB/s are achievable’ which may well excite Sony but, let’s be honest here, when you have SDHC cards such as the Class 10 SanDisk 32GB Extreme III SDHC card offering up to 30MB/s data transfer speeds it’s hard for us to get quite as excited as Sony have managed concerning this new 32GB Memory Stick HX.

Still if you have a Sony device that relies on such cards (personally we feel Sony should be acting to phase out these cards rather than acting to develop them still further) you may well greet the news of this larger 32GB capacity version with a somewhat more warmer welcome than us (not that you have a choice).

Interestingly Sony have decided that the date of availability and pricing of their new 32GB Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo HX is of trifling importance as they have not seen fit to offer absolutely no clarification concerning either.
